Upset. Straight Yesterday, Not today.

If you have finished with your orthodontic treatment and are wearing retainers (or will be soon), this is a special place to connect with others in your (enviable) situation. Ask a question or make a comment about life post-braces.

Upset. Straight Yesterday, Not today.

#1 Post by MiamiRox05 »

I just got my braces removed yesterday. I was so happy, they looked straight and beautiful.
I wake up today, and they look crooked again!
Is this possible? I mean should I call the ortho at the risk of souding like an idiot? I'm in tears that I only got to enjoy my staight teeth for ONE day.

Go ahead and call, you won't sound like an idiot. About two days after being debraced an extraction gap opened up and I called right away and got it. I asked my ortho if he thought I was over-reacting but he assured me anytime I am worried about something to call and come in. They adjusted my retainer and the gap closed.

Are you already wearing a retainer?

Anyway, call.
